Ian Maatsen will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and has signed a contract extension with Chelsea until 2026.
Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund have signed Dutch junior international Ian Maatsen (21). The left-back, who completed the mandatory medical check in Dortmund on Wednesday, is on loan from Chelsea until the end of the current season.
“Due to our current personnel situation, we have decided to take action again in the left-back position in the winter. With his strengths, Ian fits our requirements profile. He is a player who has a lot of speed, has a strong left foot and can also be used in various positions. We are very pleased that we were able to realize this loan before our first Bundesliga game of the year,” says BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
“Borussia Dortmund tried hard to find me. I've been following BVB and its fans for a long time and was even at the Champions League game in Manchester in autumn 2022 to see the team on the pitch," says Ian Maatsen and emphasizes: "I'm very happy that it's now the loan worked out. I promise that I will give everything for the team’s success and I’m really looking forward to the Yellow Wall.”
The 21-year-old has made 15 first-team appearances for the Blues this season but will now continue his development in the Bundesliga.
Maatsen joined Chelsea in 2015 from PSV Eindhoven and has previously embarked on loans at Charlton Athletic, Coventry City, and Burnley.
